Muon cooling with Li lenses and high field solenoids

V. Balbekov, MAP Winter Meeting 02/28-03/04, 2011

OUTLINE

Introduction: why the combination of Li lenses and HF solenoids is needed?

Schematic and main parts of the channel

● Li lenses for cooling

● HF solenoids for adiabatic matching

● RF 200 MHz or less for acceleration

● No emittance exchange

Cooling simulation ● 250 MeV/c ● 200 MeV/c ● 130 MeV/c

Comparison and conclusion

1

The main problem of a channel with Li lenses is their matching.

The reason is a huge difference of beta-functions in the lenses (typically 1 cm)

and in the matching part (e.g. transport solenoid, β~1 m).

Similar channel unavoidably has large chromaticity and really can’t provide a deep

cooling of a beam with reasonably large momentum spread.

However, high field solenoids (40-50 T) can solve the problem because its own

beta function is comparable with Li lens beta (several cm).

Therefore smooth (adiabatic) transition from Li lenses to HF solenoids is possible,

as well as transition from the high field solenoid to low field (transport) one.

The adiabatic HF solenoid channel has been proposed by R. Palmer for final cooling,

but addition of Li lenses could to amend its performances.

Optimization of momentum and other parameters of the channel is aimed in this talk.

The channel includes:

Red -- Li lenses for cooling. 8-12 different lenses can be applied in the channel.

Blue – Solenoid coils and field for adiabatic matching.

Maximal field 50 T, transport solenoid 4 T.

Field flip Is used for a value transverse cooling.

It is applied inside the Li lenses and does not violate the adiabaticity.

Green – RF cavities (linac) of 100 – 200 MHz, 10 – 12 MeV/m.

Low frequency version (induction linac) is also investigated for comparison.

High-field part of the solenoid coil is shown

(right -hand part).

Transport solenoid has inner radius 60 cm

and thickness 1 cm.

Transport solenoid provides 4 T field

It is not an engineering proposal.

The geometry is used to get Maxwellian field map with required characteristics.

There are a lot of other versions which assure the requirements

and can provide adiabaticity of the movement.

Solenoid coils and field

Solenoid coils and field


Li rods should have a special form of ends for a smooth transmission to solenoids.

Relatively low-gradient end bells should be enough long to provide the adiabaticity,

but rather short to give a modest contribution to the scattering due to larger beta-function.

High field matching solenoid allows to conform both requirements

Summary 250 MeV/c

Summary 250 MeV/c

Initial transverse emittance ~1 mm can be used with 2-3 additional lenses.

Then about the same transverse emittance is achievable, but longitudinal

emittance increases roughly 1 mm / lens (V.B. MCTF meeting 03/18/2010).

Decrease of the beam momentum

is a straightforward way to reach

less transverse beam emitance.

Cooling simulation of 200 MeV/c beam

is considered in this section.

Minimal changes of the lattice are made:

-- number of lenses is decreased to10,

-- their parameters are given in the table

The most changes concern RF because 200 MHz system is unable to keep the beam.

100 MHz RF system is used in this simulation.

Two alternatives are considered: ultimate voltage 17 MV/m and modest one 10 MV/m

10 linacs 16.8 MV/m x × 8 m provide 134 MV/linac, 1340 MV in all.

At 45º synchronous phase, acceleration is 11.9 MeV/m × 8 m = 95 MeV/linac, 950 MeV in all.

Total length of the channel is 100 m

Cooling simulation at 200 MeV/c (10 MV/m) Cooling simulation at 200 MeV/c (10 MV/m)

Emittances are almost the same as in previous example (62-63 μm, 25-26 mm)

However, a lot of particles come to a stop in 5th – 10th rods

Therefore transmission decreases from 79% to 52% (with decay)

Approximate loss distributions: 48% = 11% (decay) + 3%(aperture) + 34% (long. motion)

10 linacs 10.3 MV/m × 13 m provide 134 MV/linac, 1340 MV in all.

At 45º synchronous phase, acceleration is 7.3 MeV/m × 13 m = 95 MeV/linac, 950 MeV in all.

The cell length 15 m, total length of the channel is 150 m


02c_rod.pdf

Lower accelerating frequency is required to confine lower momentum bunch.

The following parameters are achievable with 100 MHz / 17 MV/m RF,

total length of the channel 100m:

Transverse emittance decreases from 400 μm to 63 μm (cooling factor 6.3)

Longitudinal emittance increases from 1 mm to 26 mm (with non-Gaussian tail).

6D emittance decreases from 0.16 mm3 to 0.10 mm3 (cooling factor 1.6)

Transmission 79%. Loss 21% including 8% decay loss

However, the transmission falls with less accelerating gradient: 52% at 10 MV/m

Less stability region of longitudinal motion is the main constraining factor .

Decay increases from 8% to 11% at the channel lengthening from 100 m to 150 m.

50 cm Li lenses are used in this channel.

Their parameters are presented in the table.

The solenoid coil is slightly modified to move

the field maxima in the lens edges (±25 cm).

A drastic decrease of accelerating frequency

is required to keep the beam at so low

average momentum.

5 MHz RF is actually applied at simulation.

Two linacs with different accelerating

gradients are investigated.

Length of the transport solenoid is changed

to provide needed room for the linac.

In principle, transverse emittance 50 μm is achievable at 130 MeV/c average momentum.

(20% less then in 200 MeV/c channel)

However, a drastic decrease of accelerating frequency is required

to avoid unacceptable particles loss because of coming to stop in the Li rods.

Accelerating gradient should be rather high (5-7 MeV/m) to hold

acceptable length of the channel and moderate loss of particles.

The following parameters are obtained by simulation with a realistic voltage 1 MeV/m:

The cooler length 480 m, 8 Li lenses

Transverse emittance decreases from 400 μm to 52 μm (cooling factor 7.7).

Longitudinal emittance increases from 1 mm to 420 mm.

6D emittance increases from 0.16 mm3 to 1.1 mm3

Transmission 45%. Loss 55% including 40% decay loss. Unacceptable

Growth of the beam energy spread is the most constraining factor. It is caused by:

Dependence dE/dx(E); straggling, and dependence of time of flight on betatron amplitude. Longitudinal phase space is shown at 3 average central momenta (blue – start, red – end)

250 MeV/c, 200 MHz, 11 MeV/m 200 MeV/c, 100 MHz, 12 MeV/m 130 MeV/c, 5 MHz, 7 MeV/m

Resulting energy spread is about the same in considerer cases,

because the same transverse cooling factors is aimed.

The spread does not allow to keep central kinetic energy below ~40 MeV, momentum 90 MeV/c.

Accelerating wavelength should be more at lower momentum

to keep the beam with such energy spread.

Therefore final longitudinal emittance is about proportional to the wavelength (9; 26; 420 mm)

High field solenoid can be used for adiabatic matching of Li lenses.

Cooling channels with 50 T solenoids and up to 20 T surface field lenses are investigated.

Achievable transverse emittance is 50 -- 85 μm in dependence on the beam momentum.

Less transverse emittance is achievable at lower momentum; however, it requires lower

accelerating frequency.

Both technical and fundamental problems appear at lower RF

(longer channel, more decay loss, larger longitudinal emittance).

The option: 200 MeV/c, 100 MHz, 10-12 MeV/m looks preferably providing:

transverse emittance ~65 μm, longitudinal ~2.5 cm, transmission ~80%.
